In this article, Coach Alan delves deeper into what a ‘good’ CdA is for a triathlete. In the last article, we explored the relationship between aerodynamics and power. Now we apply that to the context of triathlon.
In this article, Coach Alan explores the relationship between wattage and CdA. Often understanding this relationship and its impact on speed makes for effective progression for a racer looking to improve their race speed.
As coaches, we can focus on tracking metrics to help guide your training and performance as an athlete. It helps to see a quantitative measure of if things are on track or going as expected. One of these metrics is power or wattage, in this article Coach Alan looks at why ‘winning’ or riding with the lowest average power can result in a better performance.

Read MoreIn this article, Coach Alan looks at how we can all make aerodynamic gains to ride more efficiently and perhaps also faster. Aerodynamics can be a confusing topic, especially for those new to the sport. However, we try and simplify it and make it easier to digest. By the end, you will be reading this in a full aero tuck!
